last time in japan, i was bored with the selection of sheet mask. i bought the remaining lululun mask that i haven't tried and saborino mask pack, but nothing else attracts me. but i want to try something new, so i decided to try another kose mask, this time it's their premium one. my sister in law bought this last year, but she said it has weird jelly essence and she didn't like it. that's why i was hesitant to buy it at first. but i saw this mask on @ohmyglossblog instagram and she likes it, so i think it's worth to try.
this is the description from their website: for more precise skin cleansing using a sheet mask. recommended for controlling dryness. recommended for use when more moisture/ greater elasticity, improved makeup hold for when you need it most, speedy special skin care, skin maintenance, relaxing skin care time. a beauty serum formulated with a high concentration of beautifying components & ultra-rich jelly serum. premium skin care mask for special occasions. a high concentration gel type beauty serum with a deep penetrating feeling with a rich blend of carefully selected beautifying components. for hydration that goes a level deeper providing trustworthy delivery for your skin. formulation: coenzyme q10, royal jelly extract, argan oil, glycerin.
hyaluronic acid: for better than ever hydration. you'll notice soft, radiant skin the next day. 3 times the concentration of hyaluronic acid.
the enhanced moisturization clears the fine lines caused by dryness. an all-in-one type with six actions per sheet. complete skin care in one specially formulated sheet. your skin will feel energized from the inside out and bouncing with youthful elasticity. soft skin from sheets made with 100% plant extract. the raw material for the pulp is 100% cellulose (the main component of plant cell walls). hygienic impurity-free sheets. the rich gel beauty serum packs every corner of your skin with concentrated moisture. the weakly acidic formulation does not contain mineral oil, paraben, tar-based dyes, or ethanol to provide gentle care for your skin. the soothing and subtle floral fragrance turns your skin moisturization routine into a moment of luxury.
the packaging: i bought this in a box of 4 masks. both the box and the individual packaging has the same design. it has a picture of a woman using a sheet mask that is the same for every kose masks. it also has a picture of what seems to be royal jelly in a glass. the design of each type of premium mask is the same, the difference is the background color. for hyaluronic acid, it has red-pink background. at the back there's description but as usual, everything is in japanese.
the scent: as described above, you can see that this mask contains fragrance. even a special one. it has various scent mixed. for my amateur nose, i can smell subtle floral with a musky hint. on their website you can see it has top note, middle and end not of the scent, which i completely have no idea of.
the product: the mask is a thick and has this gauze pattern on it. perhaps because it's made of cellulose. it's a bit stiff. and the essence is truly has jelly texture. literally like putting jelly on top of my face. it's light gold in color. the mask has too many slits and useless bottom eye flap. but apparently some people like them. oh well. this mask doesn't adhere well because of the jelly essence that creeps out underneath it. and it's also has a light yellow gold tinge on the mask because of the jelly essence.
the result: i use it for about 15-20 minutes just as instructed and it's really moisturizing. it leaves sticky feeling afterward, just like putting honey on my face. but it is very moisturizing as promised. my face looks glowy. i also don't have any problem putting my next step after using this mask. no pilling up whatever.
honestly, this feels too rich for my skin. usually i will use mask longer than the instruction, but this one, i can't seem to stand another minute and i take it off immediately after using this for 15-20 minutes. i think it will be great for someone with dry skin. or you like royal jelly much. or you're like me, eager to try something new. but if you have super oily or oily skin or maybe just combination skin, i suggest buy singles, don't buy a box of it. i honestly forgot how much is this mask, but everything from japan seems to be affordable, so i think this one too. as for availability, i think you can get this everywhere in japan's drugstores, and maybe online. but here, i can't seem to find or see online shop selling this type. recently, kose is being sold here at watson, officially, so i think maybe i could find this at stores soon. but for this type, i won't repurchase.
